History

The station first started in 1962 as CJBQ-FM, then changed its callsign to CIGL in 1978. The former CJBQ-FM callsign currently belongs to its sister station CJBQ. The call letters CIGL were often featured with seagulls in logos and advertisements, leading many to conclude that the call letters were a short form for "seagull".

Until 1995 CIGL featured essentially a "Beautiful Music" format playing many instrumental renditions of popular songs by artists such as Percy Faith, Nelson Riddle, Richard Clayderman, Frank Mills and Floyd Cramer. As the popularity of the Beautiful Music format decreased throughout the 1980s all around North America, more soft rock vocal music was added, including light songs by Kenny Rogers, Glenn Medieros and many others. On July 1, 1995, the station was re-branded as "Mix 97", and adopted its current format.

CIGL is owned by Quinte Broadcasting.

gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: This is why AMD was basically irrelevant for many years until Zen back in 2017 or so.
gollark: Each pair of "cores" shares a bunch of resources, so it isn't really as fast as an actual "core" in other designs, and I think their IPC was quite bad too, so the moderately high clocks didn't do very much except burn power.
gollark: See, while the FX-4100 is allegedly a fairly high-clocked quad-core, this is misleading. AMD's Bulldozer architecture used "clustered multithreading", instead of the "simultaneous multithreading" on modern architectures and also Intel's ones at the time.
gollark: (as this is based on a tower server and not a rack one, you might not even have ridiculously noisy fans in it!)
